The Highlander's Christmas Bride

A Christmas Romance Set in the Scottish Highlands

She came to Scotland to plan a wedding. She never expected to lose her own heart instead.
Still aching from her mother’s death, Sarah accepts a winter wedding job in the Scottish Highlands, hoping Christmas in Scotland might quiet the grief she cannot outrun. Planning other people’s happy endings is easier than facing her own, and an ancient Highland castle feels like the perfect place to hide.Until one snowy winter night changes everything.

Sarah wakes to firelight and stone walls, in a medieval Scotland preparing for Yule, where old magic still lingers and sorrow runs deep. And at its center stands James MacDougall, a proud Highland laird with steady hands, guarded eyes, and a heart shaped by loss.

James has learned that love comes at a price. Duty to his clan leaves little room for hope, until a strange woman appears in his keep, dressed like no one he has ever seen and carrying a grief he understands too well. Sarah does not belong in his world, yet her quiet strength and compassion begin to thaw what years of hardship have frozen.

As Christmas draws near, snow falls heavier, hearths glow brighter, and their connection deepens into something neither of them planned. But ancient traditions and fragile magic demand a choice, and time is not as gentle as the season suggests.

The Highlander’s Christmas Bride is a sweet, slow-burn Scottish Highlander romance filled with gentle magic, emotional healing, and heartfelt connection. Perfect for readers who love Christmas romance books set in Scotland, historical Highlander romance, a bit of romantasy, and heartfelt love stories that unfold slowly and sweetly.
